A superb visual overview of the major public parks designed by the foremost landscape architect in American history.

volume takes readers on a uniquely conceived tour of such notable landscapes as Central Park,

Prospect Park, the Buffalo Park and Parkway System, Washington Park and Jackson Park

in Chicago, Boston’s “Emerald Necklace,” and Mount Royal in Montreal, Quebec. No such

guide to Olmsted’s parks has ever been published until now.

Frederick Law Olmsted (1822–1903) planned many parks and park systems across

the United States, leaving an enduring legacy of designed public space that is enjoyed and

defended today. His public parks, the design of which he was most proud, have had a lasting

effect on urban America.

This gorgeous book will appeal to landscape professionals, park administrators, histori-

ans, architects, city planners, and students—and it is a perfect gift for Olmsted aficionados

throughout North America.

FIELD GUIDE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD BIRDS OF NEW YORK CITYLESLIE DAY

illustrated by Trudy Smoke

photographs by Beth Bergman

LOOK AROUND NEW YORK, and you’ll prob-

ably see birds: wood ducks swimming in Queens, a

stalking black-crowned night-heron in Brooklyn, great

horned owls perching in the Bronx, warblers feeding

in Central Park, or Staten Island’s purple martins flying

to and fro. You might spot hawks and falcons nesting

on skyscrapers or robins belting out songs from trees

along the street.

America’s largest metropolis teems with birdlife

in part because it sits within the great Atlantic flyway

where migratory birds travel seasonally between north

and south. The Big Apple’s miles of coastline, mag-

nificent parks, and millions of trees attract dozens of

migrating species every year and are also home year-

round to scores of resident birds.

There is no better way to identify and learn about

New York’s birds than with this comprehensive field

guide from New York City naturalist Leslie Day. Her

book will quickly teach you what each species looks

like, where they build their nests, what they eat, the

sounds of their songs, what time of year they appear

in the city, the shapes and colors of their eggs, and

where in the five boroughs you can find them—which

is often in the neighborhood you call home. The hun-

The most readable—and searingly honest—short book ever written on this pivotal conflict.

THE BEST WAR EVERAmerica and World War II

second edition

MICHAEL C. C. ADAMS

WAS WORLD WAR II REALLY SUCH A “GOOD WAR”? Popular memory insists that

it was, in fact, “the best war ever.” After all, we knew who the enemy was, and we under-

stood what we were fighting for. The war was good for the economy. It was liberating for

women. A battle of tanks and airplanes, it was a “cleaner” war than World War I. Although

we did not seek the conflict—or so we believed—Americans nevertheless rallied in support

of the war effort, and the nation’s soldiers, all twelve million of them, were proud to fight.

But according to historian Michael C. C. Adams, our memory of the war era as a golden age

is distorted. It has left us with a misleading—even dangerous—legacy, one enhanced by the

nostalgia-tinged retrospectives of Stephen E. Ambrose and Tom Brokaw. Disputing many

of our common assumptions about the period, Adams argues in The Best War Ever that our

celebratory experience of World War II is marred by darker and more sordid realities.

Adams challenges stereotypes to present a view of World War II that avoids the sim-

plistic extremes of both glorification and vilification. The Best War Ever charts the complex

diplomatic problems of the 1930s and reveals the realities of ground combat: no moral tri-

umph, it was in truth a brutal slog across a blasted landscape. Adams also exposes the myth

that the home front was fully united behind the war effort, demonstrating how class, race,

gender, and age divisions split Americans. Meanwhile, in Europe and Asia, shell-shocked

soldiers grappled with emotional and physical trauma, rigorously enforced segregation, and

rampant venereal disease.


9


In preparing this must-read new edition, Adams has consulted some seventy ad-

ditional sources on topics as varied as the origins of Social Security and a national health

system, the Allied strategic bombing campaign, and the relationship of traumatic brain

injuries to the adjustment problems of veterans. The revised book also incorporates sub-

stantial developments that have occurred in our understanding of the course and char-

acter of the war, particularly in terms of the human consequences of fighting. In a new

chapter, “The Life Cycle of a Myth,” Adams charts image-making about the war from its

inception to the present. He contrasts it with modern-day rhetoric surrounding the War

on Terror, while analyzing the real-world consequences that result from distorting the

past, including the dangerous idea that only through (perpetual) military conflict can we

achieve lasting peace.

“Not only is this mythologizing bad history, says Adams, it is dangerous as well. Surrounding the war with an aura of nostalgia both fosters the delusion that war can cure our social ills and makes us strong again, and weakens confidence in our ability to act effectively in our own time.”—Journal of Military History

LYME DISEASEWhy It’s Spreading, How It Makes You Sick, and What to Do about It

ALAN G. BARBOUR, MD

ONCE RESTRICTED TO SMALL forested areas in the northeast and north-central

United States, Lyme disease is now a common infection in North America and Europe.

An expert on tick-borne diseases, Alan G. Barbour explains the course of illness that

results from infection, diagnosis and treatment options, and steps that can be taken to avoid

a tick bite in the first place. The ticks that transmit Lyme disease may also transmit other

disease-causing pathogens, and these other infections are considered as well.

Drawing on real case histories of individuals with Lyme disease—or illnesses that may

be mistaken for Lyme disease—Barbour explains

INDIANS OF SOUTHERN MARYLAND

REBECCA SEIB and HELEN C. ROUNTREE

HERE AT LAST IS THE STORY of Southern Maryland’s Native people, from the end of

the Ice Age to the present. Intended for a general audience, it explains how they have been

adapting to changing conditions—both climatic and human—for all of that time in a way that

is jargon-free and readable. The authors, cultural anthropologists with long experience of

modern Indian people, convincingly demonstrate that all through their history, Native people

have behaved like rational adults, contrary to the common stereotype of Indians. Moreover,

in the very early Contact Period at least, some English settlers respected them accordingly.

Unfortunately, although they never went to war against the English, they were driven nearly

out of existence. Yet some of them refused to leave, and, adapting yet again to a changing

world, their descendants are living successfully in Indian communities today.

New from the Maryland Historical Society, the story of Southern Maryland’s Native people.

REBECCA SEIB is an applied anthropologist

and has worked with Indian people throughout the

United States for over 30 years. She has assisted

Indian communities in rebuilding their economies

in a culturally appropriate manner. HELEN C. ROUNTREE is professor emerita of anthropol-

ogy at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.

She has been studying the Powhatan Indians in

Virginia since 1969, with interests in the Algonquian

-speaking Indians in adjacent states.

MIKE HIGH

A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE to one of America’s unique national parks, The C&O Canal

Companion takes readers on a mile-by-mile, lock-by-lock tour of the 184-mile Potomac River

waterway and towpath that stretches from Washington, D.C., to Cumberland, Maryland,

and the Allegheny Mountains. Making extensive use of records at the National Archives and

the C&O Canal Park Headquarters, Mike High demonstrates how events and places along

the canal relate to the history of the nation, from Civil War battles and river crossings to the

frontier forts guarding the route to the West. Using attractive photographs and drawings, he

introduces park visitors to the hidden history along the canal and provides practical advice

on cycling, paddling, and hiking—all the information needed to fully enjoy the park’s varied

delights.

Thoroughly overhauled and expanded, the second edition of this popular, fact-packed

book features updated maps and photographs, as well as the latest information on lodgings

and other facilities for hikers, bikers, and campers on weekend excursions or extended

outdoor vacations.

“A unique and invaluable resource on what is a river valley of incomparable his-toric importance.”—Karen M. Gray, PhD, C&O Canal National Historical Park volunteer historian

An indispensable guide to a regional treasure—now thoroughly updated and expanded.

MIKE HIGH holds degrees in English and cre-

ative writing from the University of Virginia. His

work has appeared in Poets & Writers and the Los

Angeles Times, among other publications. He has

cycled in many places around the world, but the

EXPLORATION AND ENGINEERINGThe Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Quest for Mars

ERIK M. CONWAY

ALTHOUGH THE JET PROPULSION LABORATORY (JPL) in Pasadena, California,

has become synonymous with the United States’ planetary exploration during the past half

century, its most recent focus has been on Mars. Beginning in the 1990s and continuing

through the Mars Phoenix mission of 2007, JPL led the way in engineering an impressive,

rapidly evolving succession of Mars orbiters and landers, including roving robotic vehicles

whose successful deployment onto the Martian surface posed some of the most compli-

cated technical problems in space flight history.

In Exploration and Engineering, Erik M. Conway reveals how JPL engineers’ creative

technological feats led to major Mars exploration breakthroughs. He takes readers into the

heart of the lab’s problem-solving approach and management structure, where talented sci-

entists grappled with technical challenges while also coping, not always successfully, with

funding shortfalls, unrealistic schedules, and managerial turmoil.

Conway, JPL’s historian, offers an insider’s perspective into the changing goals of

Mars exploration, the ways in which sophisticated computer simulations drove the design

process, and the remarkable evolution of landing technologies over a thirty-year period.

“No subject in the history of planetary science has been more publicly enticing than the efforts to understand Mars. This capably told narrative captures the fasci-nating details of the Mars program at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.”—Roger D. Launius, National Air and Space Museum

New Series in NASA History

Getting to Mars required engineering genius, scientific strategy, and the drive to persevere in the face of failure.

science and technology at the Jet Propulsion

Laboratory, California Institute of Technology.

DESIGNING THE NEW AMERICAN UNIVERSITY

MICHAEL M. CROW and WILLIAM B. DABARS

MICHAEL M. CROW, president of Arizona State University and an outspoken advocate for

reinventing the public research university, conceived the New American University model

when he moved from Columbia University to Arizona State in 2002. Following a comprehen-

sive reconceptualization spanning more than a decade, ASU has emerged as an international

academic and research powerhouse that serves as the foundational prototype for the new

model. Crow has led the transformation of ASU into an egalitarian institution committed to

academic excellence, inclusiveness of a broad demographic, and maximum societal impact.

In Designing the New American University, Crow and coauthor William B. Dabars—a

historian whose research focus is the American research university—examine the emer-

gence of this set of institutions and the imperative for the new model, the tenets of which

may be adapted by colleges and universities, both public and private. Through in-

stitutional innovation, say Crow and Dabars, universities are apt to realize unique

and differentiated identities, which maximize their potential to generate the ideas,

products, and processes that impact quality of life, standard of living, and national eco-

nomic competitiveness. Designing the New American University will ignite a national

discussion about the future evolution of the American research university.

“Michael M. Crow is brilliant, innovative, and a prudent risk-taker. He has transformed Arizona State University in a decade from a quiet school to a formidable research university. Crow’s model for change is revolution-ary.”—Jonathan R. Cole, author of The Great American University: Its Rise to Preeminence, Its Indispensable National Role, Why It Must Be Protected

A radical blueprint for reinventing American higher education.

MICHAEL M. CROW has served as the president

of Arizona State University since 2002. He was for-

merly executive vice provost at Columbia University

and a professor of science and technology policy.

in the Office of the President and a research profes-

sor in the School of Historical, Philosophical, and

Religious Studies at Arizona State University.

DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERSHumanitarian Quests, Impossible Dreams of Médecins Sans Frontières

RENÉE C. FOX

PIONEERING MEDICAL SOCIOLOGIST Renée C. Fox spent nearly twenty years con-

ducting extensive ethnographic research within Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without

Borders (MSF), a private international medical humanitarian organization that was created

in 1971 and awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1999. Drawing on unprecedented ac-

cess to MSF staff meetings, doctors, and field workers, Fox weaves a rich tapestry of the

MSF experience with emerging and reemerging infectious diseases. Including vivid photo-

graphs of MSF operations, Doctors Without Borders explores the organization’s founding

principles, distinctive culture, and inner struggles to realize more fully its “without borders”

transnational vision.

“A commendably reflective work of sociology that, more importantly, tells a remarkable history of care.”—Publishers Weekly

“A treasured and monumental depiction of MSF’s courageous and persistent commitment to millions of people in distress.”—South African Medical Journal

“The author tells an exquisite story of the organization’s origins and challenges.” —Choice

THE ANTIBIOTIC ERAReform, Resistance, and the Pursuit of a Rational Therapeutics

SCOTT H. PODOLSKY

IN THE ANTIBIOTIC ERA, physician-historian Scott H. Podolsky narrates the far-

reaching history of antibiotics, focusing particularly on reform efforts that attempted to

fundamentally change how antibiotics are developed and prescribed. This sweeping chron-

icle reveals the struggles faced by crusading reformers from the 1940s onward as they

advocated for a rational therapeutics at the crowded intersection of bugs and drugs, patients

and doctors, industry and medical academia, and government and the media.

During the post–World War II “wonder drug” revolution, antibiotics were viewed as a

panacea for mastering infectious disease. But from the beginning, critics raised concerns

about irrational usage and overprescription.

Now, in an era of emerging bugs and receding drugs, discussions of antibiotic resis-

tance focus on the need to develop novel antibiotics and the need for more appropriate

prescription practices in the face of pharmaceutical marketing, pressure from patients, and

the structural constraints that impede rational delivery of antibiotics worldwide. Concerns

about the enduring utility of antibiotics—indeed, about a post-antibiotic era—are widespread,

as evidenced by reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, academia,

and popular media alike. Only by understanding the historical forces that have shaped

our current situation, Podolsky argues, can we properly understand and frame our choices

moving forward.

“Anyone who knows antibiotics will want to read this book, a brilliant, entertaining exposition of ‘antibiotic reformers’ as described by a gifted historian.”—Stuart B. Levy, MD, author of The Antibiotic Paradox: How the Misuse of Antibiotics Destroys Their Curative Powers

CONSTITUTIONAL CALCULUSThe Math of Justice and the Myth of Common Sense

JEFF SUZUKI

HOW SHOULD WE COUNT the population of the United States? What would happen

if we replaced the electoral college with a direct popular vote? What are the consequences

of allowing unlimited partisan gerrymandering of congressional districts? These and other

questions have long been the subject of legal and political debate and are routinely decided

by lawyers, politicians, judges, and voters, mostly through an appeal to common sense and

tradition.

But mathematician Jeff Suzuki asserts that common sense is not so common, and

traditions developed long ago in what was a mostly rural, mostly agricultural, mostly isolated

nation of three million might not apply to a mostly urban, mostly industrial, mostly global

nation of three hundred million. In Constitutional Calculus, Suzuki guides us through the U.S.

Constitution and American history to show how mathematics reveals our flaws, finds the

answers we need, and moves us closer to our ideals.

From the first presidential veto to the debate over mandatory drug testing, the National

Security Agency’s surveillance program, and the fate of death row inmates, Suzuki draws us

into real-world debates and then reveals how math offers a superior compass for decision

making.

Whether you are fascinated by history, math, social justice, or government, your inter-

est will be piqued and satisfied by the convincing case Suzuki makes.

How math trumps tradition in promoting justice, fairness, and a more stable democracy.

JEFF SUZUKI is an associate professor of

mathematics at Brooklyn College. He is the

author of Mathematics in Historical Context and

A History of Mathematics.

COULDN’T PROVE, HAD TO PROMISEpoems by WYATT PRUNTY

IN COULDN’T PROVE, HAD TO PROMISE, Wyatt Prunty ushers readers into a

seesaw world, one that teeters between small fables of childish misgivings and adult as-

surances. Alternately shadowed and illuminated by nostalgia, this deft, witty volume brings

together seventeen of Prunty’s recent poems, seven of which have been previously

published in Poetry, the Hopkins Review, the Kenyon Review, and Blackbird.

In “Crescent Theater, Schenectady, NY,” a silent-movie accompanist reads his foreign

newspaper after work as he listens, ever the outsider, “to his children using English / For

everything they wish.” In “Rules,” a small girl, told she can’t go to the school nurse “every

time some bad thing happens,” plaintively wonders, “Where do you go?” And in “Making

Frankenstein,” a boy who has cajoled his parents into letting him see The Curse of

Frankenstein wakes to a nightmare. His father bans horror films as “too anatomical”;

“What’s anatomical?” the boy wonders. Given a book that catalogs diseases, the worst of

which come “from intimate contact,” he is horrified by his father’s explanation of grownup

intimacy: “That’s how you made your way into this world.”

“Wyatt Prunty is a classic poet in the tradition of Frost, Wilbur, Merrill, and Justice. His work involves a wry sanity toward the world and an impeccable ear for both prosody and the rhythms of American speech.”—Robert Hass, author of Time and Materials

Johns Hopkins: Poetry and Fiction, John T. Irwin, General Editor

In his ninth collection of poems, Wyatt Prunty explores the comic and lyric intersection of the realms of childhood and middle age.

WYATT PRUNTY is a professor of English

at Sewanee: The University of the South and

the founding director of the Sewanee Writers’

Conference. He is the author of nine collections of

poems, including The Lover’s Guide to Trapping,

The engrossing tale of the first audacious protest march on Washington—a precursor of the Occupy movement.

BENJAMIN F. ALEXANDER teaches

American history at the New York City College of

Technology.

COXEY’S ARMYPopular Protest in the Gilded Age

BENJAMIN F. ALEXANDER

IN 1893, AFTER A MAJOR BRITISH BANK FAILURE, a run on U.S. gold reserves,

and a late-June stock-market crash, America was in the throes of a serious economic de-

pression. Unemployment rose, foreclosures climbed, and popular unrest mounted. By the

following spring, businessman and Populist agitator Jacob S. Coxey was fed up with govern-

ment inactivity in the face of the crisis. With the help of eccentric showman Carl Browne, he

led a group of several hundred unemployed wage earners, small farmers, and crossroads

merchants on a march from Massillon, Ohio, to Washington, D.C., to present a “petition in

boots” for government-financed jobs building and repairing the nation’s roads.

In this concise and gripping narrative, Benjamin F. Alexander contextualizes the march

by vividly describing the misery wrought by the Panic of ’93. Alexander brings both Coxey

and his fellow leaders to life, along with the reporters and spies who traveled with them

and the diverse group of captivated newspaper readers who followed the progress of the

marches and train heists.

Coxey’s Army explains how the demands of the Coxeyites—far from being the wild

schemes of a small group of cranks—fit into a larger history of economic theories that

received serious attention long before and long after the Coxey march. Despite running a

gauntlet of ridicule, the marchers laid down a rough outline of what, some forty years later,

emerged as the New Deal.

“A timely book that evokes the recent Occupy movement while resonating against the notion of our own time as a second Gilded Age.”—Wendy Gamber, author of The Boardinghouse in Nineteenth-Century America

WOLF BY THE EARSThe Missouri Crisis, 1819–1821

JOHN R. VAN ATTA

FROM THE EARLY DAYS OF THE REPUBLIC, American leaders knew that an un-

predictable time bomb—the question of slavery—lay at the heart of national politics. By

1819–1820 westward expansion had brought the matter to a head. As Thomas Jefferson

wrote at the time, a nation dealing with the politically implacable issue of slavery essentially

held the “wolf” by the ears—and could neither let go nor hang on forever.

In Wolf by the Ears, John R. Van Atta discusses how the sectional conflict that led to

the Civil War surfaced in the divisive fight over Missouri statehood. Missouri carried special

significance for both pro- and anti-slavery advocates. Northern congressmen leaped out of

their seats to object to the proposed expansion of the slave “empire,” while slave-state

politicians voiced outrage at the northerners’ blatant sectional attack. Although the Missouri

confrontation ultimately appeared to end amicably with a famous compromise that the wily

Kentuckian Henry Clay helped to cobble together, the passions it unleashed proved vicious,

widespread, and long lasting.

Van Atta deftly explains how the Missouri crisis revealed the power that slavery had al-

ready gained over American nation building. Wolf by the Ears provides students in American

history with an ideal introduction to the Missouri crisis while at the same time offering fresh

insights for scholars of the early republic.

“Students and specialists have long needed a study of the Missouri Compromise that would take advantage of recent scholarship and lift the subject beyond the fine-grained detail of political and legislative negotiation. In Wolf by the Ears, Van Atta does both and more. An excel-lent book.”—Harry L. Watson, author of Liberty and Power: The Politics of Jacksonian America

GLORIOUS VICTORYAndrew Jackson and the Battle of New Orleans

DONALD R. HICKEY

WHETHER OR NOT THE UNITED STATES “won” the war of 1812, two engagements

that occurred toward the end of the conflict had an enormous influence on the development

of American identity: the successful defenses of the cities of Baltimore and New Orleans. The

Battle of New Orleans—perhaps because it punctuated the war, lent itself to frontier mythol-

ogy, and involved the larger-than-life figure of Andrew Jackson—became especially important

in popular memory. In Glorious Victory, leading War of 1812 scholar Donald R. Hickey recounts

the New Orleans campaign and Jackson’s key role in the battle.

Drawing on a lifetime of research, Hickey tells the story of America’s “forgotten conflict.”

He explains why the fragile young republic chose to challenge Great Britain, then a global power

with a formidable navy, and recounts the early campaigns of the war.

Tracing Jackson’s emergence as a leader in Tennessee and his extraordinary success as a

military commander in the field, Hickey finds in Jackson a bundle of contradictions: an enemy

of privilege who belonged to Tennessee’s ruling elite and a slaveholder who wel-

comed free blacks into his army. Glorious Victory will reward readers with a clear

understanding of Andrew Jackson’s role in the War of 1812 and his iconic place

in the postwar era.

“Engaging, enjoyable, and well written, Glorious Victory will help students and the broader public understand the War of 1812 and Andrew Jackson’s mythic appeal to antebellum Americans.”—John W. Quist, Shippensburg University


The story of the battle that saved New Orleans, made Andrew Jackson a hero for the ages, and shaped the

American public memory of the war.

DONALD R. HICKEY, whom the New Yorker

described as “the dean of 1812 scholarship,” teaches

history at Wayne State College in Nebraska. He has

written seven books on the conflict, including The

Rockets’ Red Glare: An Illustrated History of the War

of 1812 and The War of 1812: A Forgotten Conflict.

COAL AND EMPIREThe Birth of Energy Security in Industrial America

PETER A. SHULMAN

SINCE THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY, Americans have associated oil with

national security. From World War I to American involvement in the Middle East, this

connection has seemed a self-evident truth. But as Peter A. Shulman argues, Americans

had to learn to think about the geopolitics of energy in terms of security, and they did so

beginning in the nineteenth century: the age of coal. Coal and Empire insightfully weaves

pivotal moments in the history of science and technology by linking coal and steam to the

realms of foreign relations, navy logistics, and American politics.

Shulman explores how the development of coal-fired, ocean-going steam power in the

1840s created new questions, opportunities, and problems for U.S. foreign relations and

naval strategy. The search for coal, for example, helped take Commodore Matthew Perry

to Japan in the 1850s. It facilitated Abraham Lincoln’s pursuit of black colonization in 1860s

Panama.

By exploring how the security dimensions of energy were not intrinsically linked to a

particular source of power but rather to political choices about America’s role in the world,

Shulman ultimately suggests that contemporary global struggles over energy will never

disappear, even if oil is someday displaced by alternative sources of power.

“Fast-paced, engaging, and accessible, Coal and Empire reveals how the extraction and use of coal was intertwined with domestic and international politics, eco-nomics and world trade, and innovations in science, mathematics, and technology.”

The first transnational history of cinema’s role in decolonization.

JON COWANS is an associate professor of

history at Rutgers University–Newark.

EMPIRE F ILMS AND THE CRISIS OF COLONIALISM, 1946–1959JON COWANS

USING POPULAR CINEMA from the United States, Britain, and France, Empire Films

and the Crisis of Colonialism, 1946 –1959, examines postwar Western attitudes toward co-

lonialism and race relations. Popular cinema provided the main source of images of the colo-

nies, and, according to Jon Cowans in this far-reaching book, films depicting the excesses

of empire helped Westerners come to terms with decolonization and even promoted the

dismantling of colonialism around the globe.

Examining more than one hundred British, French, and American films from the post–

World War II era, Cowans concentrates on movies that depict interactions between white

colonizers and nonwhite colonial subjects, including sexual and romantic relations. Although

certain conservative films eagerly supported colonialism, Cowans argues that the more nu-

merous “liberal colonialist” productions undermined support for key aspects of colonial rule,

while a few more provocative films openly favored anticolonial movements and urged “inter-

nal decolonization” for people of color in Britain, France, and the United States.

The book examines both high-profile and lesser-known films on overseas colonialism,

including The King and I, Bhowani Junction, and Island in the Sun, and tackles treatments of

miscegenation and “internal colonialism” that appeared in Westerns and American films like

Pinky and Giant. The first truly transnational history of cinema’s role in decolonization, this

powerful book weaves a unified historical narrative out of the experiences of three colonial

powers in diverse geographic settings.

“This is a terrific book. Cowans has the gift for concise and lucid summation; his cinematic analysis is consistently illuminating, engaging, and plausible.”—Stephen J. Whitfield, Brandeis University

ORGANIZING ENLIGHTENMENTInformation Overload and the Invention of the Modern Research University

CHAD WELLMON

SINCE ITS INCEPTION, the research university has been the central institution of knowl-

edge in the West. Today, however, its intellectual authority is being challenged on many

fronts, above all by radical technological change. Organizing Enlightenment tells the story of

how the university emerged in the early nineteenth century at a similarly fraught moment of

cultural anxiety about revolutionary technologies and their disruptive effects on established

institutions of knowledge.

Late eighteenth-century Germans, troubled by a massive increase in the publication

and availability of printed material, felt threatened by a veritable “plague” of books that

circulated “contagiously” among the reading public. But deep concerns about what counted

as authoritative knowledge, not to mention the fear of information overload, also made them

uneasy, as they watched universities come under increasing pressure to offer more practical

training and to justify their existence in the age of print.

German intellectuals were the first to settle on the research university, and its organiz-

ing system of intellectual specialization, as the solution to these related problems. Drawing

on the history of science, the university, and print, as well as media theory and philosophy,

Chad Wellmon explains how the research university and the ethic of disciplinarity it created

emerged as the final and most lasting technology of the Enlightenment.

“The crisis of the university in the age of MOOCs and the new media? As Chad Wellmon shows in this learned and lucid study, we’ve been there before. A thought-provoking account of an astonishingly resilient institution.”—Lorraine Daston, Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin

The Enlightenment-era concerns that gave rise to the modern research university can illuminate contemporary debates about knowledge in the digital age.

CHAD WELLMON is an associate

professor of German studies at the

University of Virginia and a faculty fellow

at the Institute for Advanced Studies in

Culture. He is the author of Becoming

Human: Romantic Anthropology and the

Embodiment of Freedom.

The concluding volume of the monumental Papers of Frederick Law Olmsted captures some of Olmsted’s greatest achievements.

THE PAPERS OF FREDERICK LAW OLMSTEDVolume 9: The Last Great Projects, 1890–1895

FREDERICK LAW OLMSTED

edited by DAVID SCHUYLER, GREGORY KALISS, and JEFFREY SCHLOSSBERG

IN 1890, FREDERICK LAW OLMSTED, then nearly sixty-eight years old, had risen to

the pinnacle of his career. Together with his partners, stepson John Charles Olmsted and

protégé Henry Sargent Codman, he was involved in a number of major ongoing projects,

including the Boston, Buffalo, and Rochester park systems, the campus plan for Stanford

University, the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicage, and numerous private estates.

Olmsted’s work in the final six years of his professional career would only enhance

his considerable reputation, as the ninth and final volume of The Papers of Frederick Law

Olmsted reveals. With its impressive waterways, monumental buildings, and verdant is-

lands and shores, the Chicago fair proved to be one of the firm’s crowning achievements.

The early 1890s also saw the culmination of Olmsted’s wide-ranging work on one of his

other great projects: the design of the grounds of George W. Vanderbilt’s massive estate,

Biltmore, near Asheville, North Carolina.

The Last Great Projects, 1890 –1895, chronicles the history of one of the world’s great-

est landscape design firms while offering a fascinating retrospective on Frederick Law

Olmsted’s productive final years.

CHILDREN AND CHILDHOOD IN CLASSICAL ATHENSsecond edition

MARK GOLDEN

INITIALLY PUBLISHED IN 1990, Children and Childhood in Classical Athens was the

first book in English to explore the lives of children in ancient Athens. Drawing on literary,

artistic, and archaeological sources as well as on comparative studies of family history, Mark

Golden offers a vivid portrait of the public and private lives of children from about 500 to

300 B.C. Golden discusses how the Athenians viewed children and childhood, describes

everyday activities of children at home and in the community, and explores the differences

in the social lives of boys and girls. He details the complex bonds among children, parents,

siblings, and household slaves, and he shows how a growing child’s changing roles often

led to conflict between the demands of family and the demands of community.

In this thoroughly revised edition, Golden places particular emphasis on the problem

of identifying change over time and the relationship of children to adults. He also explores

three dominant topics in the recent historiography of childhood: the agency of children,

the archaeology of childhood, and representations of children in art. The book includes a

completely new final chapter, text and notes rewritten throughout to incorporate evidence

and scholarship that has appeared over the past twenty-five years, and an index of ancient

sources.

“Mark Golden has produced a superb book, an important substantive and meth-odological contribution to the social history of ancient Athens and a model for comparable studies.”—American Historical Review

EX ORIENTE LEXNear Eastern Influences on Ancient Greek and Roman Law

RAYMOND WESTBROOK

edited by DEBORAH LYONS and KURT RAAFLAUB

THROUGHOUT THE TWELVE ESSAYS that appear in Ex Oriente Lex, Raymond

Westbrook convincingly argues that the influence of Mesopotamian legal traditions and

thought had a profound impact on the early laws and legal developments of Greece and

Rome as well.

Before his untimely death in July 2009, Westbrook was regarded as one of the world’s

leading authorities on ancient legal history. In his examination of the relationship between

ancient Near Eastern and pre-classical Greek and Roman law, Westbrook sought to dem-

onstrate that the connection between the two legal spheres was not merely theoretical but

also concrete.

Aimed at classicists and ancient historians, as well as biblicists, Egyptologists,

Assyriologists, and legal historians, this volume gathers many of Westbrook’s most

important essays on the legal aspects of Near Eastern cultural influences on the

Greco-Roman world, including one new, never-before-published piece. A preface

by editors Deborah Lyons and Kurt Raaflaub details the importance of Westbrook’s

work for the field of classics, while Sophie Démare-Lafont’s incisive introduction

places Westbrook’s ideas within the wider context of ancient law.

“Both experts and non-experts in the study of the ancient world are in-debted to the editors for this splendid edition of Raymond Westbrook’s papers. Westbrook has profoundly changed how we look at ancient law.”

THE BATTLE OF ARGINUSAEVictory at Sea and Its Tragic Aftermath in the Final Years of the Peloponnesian War

DEBRA HAMEL

A PIVOTAL SKIRMISH involving nearly three hundred Athenian and Spartan ships toward

the end of the Peloponnesian War, the Battle of Arginusae was at the time the largest naval

battle ever fought between warring Greeks. It was a crucial win for the Athenians, but, para-

doxically, the win at Arginusae resulted in one of the worst disasters to befall the Athenians

during the brutal twenty-seven-year war.

Due to a combination of factors—incompetent leadership, the weariness of the sailors,

a sudden storm—the commanders on the scene failed to rescue the crews of twenty-five

Athenian ships that had been disabled during the battle. Thousands of men, many of them

injured, were left clinging to the wreckage of their ships awaiting help that never came.

The Battle of Arginusae describes the violent battle and its horrible aftermath. Debra

Hamel provides a summary of the events that caused the long war and discusses the tacti-

cal intricacies of Greek naval warfare. Recreating the claustrophobic, unhygienic conditions

in which the ships’ crews operated, Hamel unfolds the process that turned this naval vic-

tory into one of the most infamous chapters in the city-state’s history. Aimed at classics

students and general readers, the book also provides an in-depth examination of the fraught

relationship between Athens’ military commanders and its vaunted sovereign democracy.

PATIENTS AND HEALERS IN THE HIGH ROMAN EMPIREIDO ISRAELOWICH

PATIENTS AND HEALERS IN THE HIGH ROMAN EMPIRE offers a fascinating

holistic look at the practice of ancient Roman medicine. Ido Israelowich presents three richly

detailed case studies—one focusing on the home and reproduction; another on the army;

the last on medical tourism—from the point of view of those on both sides of the patient-

healer divide. He explains in depth how people in the classical world became aware of their

ailments, what they believed caused particular illnesses, and why they turned to certain

healers—root cutters, gymnastic trainers, dream interpreters, pharmacologists, and priests

—or sought medical care in specific places such as temples, bath houses, and city centers.

The book brings to life the complex behavior and social status of all the actors involved

in the medical marketplace. It also sheds new light on classical theories about sickness, the

measures Romans undertook to tackle disease and improve public health, and personal

expectations for and evaluations of various treatments.

Ultimately, Israelowich concludes that this clamoring multitude of coexisting forms of

health care actually shared a common language. Drawing on a diverse range of sources—

including patient testimonies; the writings of physicians, historians, and poets; and offi-

cial publications of the Roman state—Patients and Healers in the High Roman Empire is a

groundbreaking history of the culture of classical medicine.

A comprehensive study of healthcare in the High Roman Empire.

ROME’S CHRISTIAN EMPRESSGalla Placidia Rules at the Twilight of the Empire

JOYCE E. SALISBURY

IN ROME’S CHRISTIAN EMPRESS, Joyce E. Salisbury brings the captivating story

of Rome’s Christian empress to life. The daughter of Roman emperor Theodosius I, Galla

Placidia lived at the center of imperial Roman power during the first half of the fifth century.

Taken hostage after the fall of Rome to the Goths, she was married to the king and, upon his

death, to a Roman general. The rare woman who traveled throughout Italy, Gaul, and Spain,

she eventually returned to Rome, where her young son was crowned as the emperor of the

western Roman provinces. Placidia served as his regent, ruling the Roman Empire and the

provinces for twenty years.

Salisbury restores this influential, too-often-forgotten woman to the center stage of

this crucial period. Describing Galla Placidia’s life from childhood to death while detailing the

political and military developments that influenced her—and that she influenced in turn—

the book relies on religious and political sources to weave a narrative that combines social,

cultural, political, and theological history.

The Roman world changed dramatically during Placidia’s rule: the Empire became

Christian, barbarian tribes settled throughout the West, and Rome began its unmistakable

decline. But during her long reign, Placidia wielded formidable power. Compulsively read-

able, Rome’s Christian Empress is the first full-length work to give this fascinating and com-

plex ruler her due.

“A soundly researched and elegantly written history of Rome’s decline and one of its most important empresses.”—Mary F. Thurlkill, University of Mississippi

METAHISTORYThe Historical Imagination in Nineteenth-Century Europe

Fortieth-anniversary Edition

HAYDEN WHITE

with a new preface

foreword by Michael S. Roth

SINCE ITS INITIAL PUBLICATION IN 1973, Hayden White’s Metahistory has re-

mained an essential book for understanding the nature of historical writing. In this classic

work, White argues that a deep structural content lies beyond the surface level of historical

texts. This latent poetic and linguistic content—which White dubs the “metahistorical ele-

ment”—essentially serves as a paradigm for what an “appropriate” historical explanation

should be.

To support his thesis, White analyzes the complex writing styles of historians like

Michelet, Ranke, Tocqueville, and Burckhardt, and philosophers of history such as Marx,

Hegel, Nietzsche, and Croce. The first work in the history of historio-

graphy to concentrate on historical writing as writing, Metahistory sets out

to deprive history of its status as a bedrock of factual truth, to redeem nar-

rative as the substance of historicality, and to identify the extent to which

any distinction between history and ideology on the basis of the presumed

scientificity of the former is spurious.

This fortieth-anniversary edition includes a new preface in which White

explains his motivation for writing Metahistory and discusses how reactions

to the book informed his later writing. In a new foreword, Michael S. Roth

reflects on the significance of the book across a broad range of fields.

This penetrating analysis of eight classic nineteenth-century thinkers explains how historians use literary techniques to

write sophisticated historical works.

“This is a daring, ingenious . . . tour de force. White has produced a profoundly original ‘critique of historical reason.’ ”

PUTTING MODERNISM TOGETHERLiterature, Music, and Painting, 1872–1927

DANIEL ALBRIGHT

HOW DO YOU RATIONALLY CONNECT the diverse literature, music, and painting

of an age? Throughout the modernist era, there was a special belligerence to this question.

In Putting Modernism Together, Daniel Albright searches for the center of the modernist

movement by assessing various artistic models, exploring how they generated a stunning

range of creative work that was nonetheless wound together aesthetically, and sorting out

the cultural assumptions that made each philosophical system attractive.

Emerging from Albright’s lectures for a popular Harvard University course of the same

name, the book investigates different methodologies for comparing the evolution and con-

gruence of artistic movements by studying simultaneous developments that occurred during

particularly key modernist years. What does it mean, for example, that Joseph Conrad’s Heart

of Darkness, published in 1899, appeared at the same time as Claude Debussy’s Nocturnes—

beyond the fact that the word “Impressionist” has been used to describe each work?

Throughout Putting Modernism Together, Albright argues that human culture can best

be understood as a growth-pattern or ramifying of artistic, intellectual, and political action.

Going beyond merely explaining how the artists in these genres achieved their peculiar ef-

fects, he presents challenging new analyses of telling craft details that help students and

scholars come to know more fully this bold age of aesthetic extremism.

“Informative, engaging, and humane, this indispensable study of modernist ar-tistic culture will appeal to students and to the expert as well as common reader.”—Maria DiBattista, coeditor of High and Low Moderns: British Literature and Culture, 1889 –1939

THE CALENDAR OF LOSSRace, Sexuality, and Mourning in the Early Era of AIDS

DAGMAWI WOUBSHET

HIS WORLD VIEW COLORED by growing up in 1980s Ethiopia, where death governed

time and temperament, Dagmawi Woubshet offers a startlingly fresh interpretation of mel-

ancholy and mourning during the early years of the AIDS epidemic in The Calendar of Loss.

When society denies a patient’s disease and then forbids survivors mourning rites,

how does a child bear witness to a parent’s death or a lover grieve for his beloved? Looking

at a range of high and popular works of grief—including elegies, eulogies, epistles to the

dead, funerals, and obituaries—Woubshet identifies a unique expression of mourning that

emerged in the 1980s and early 1990s in direct response to the AIDS catastrophe. What

Woubshet dubs a “poetics of compounding loss” expresses what it was like for queer

mourners to grapple with the death of lovers and friends in rapid succession while also com-

ing to terms with the fact of their own imminent mortality.

Ultimately, the book argues, these disprized mourners turned to their sorrow as a nec-

essary vehicle of survival, placing open grief at the center of art and protest, insisting that

lives could be saved through the very speech acts precipitated by death. An innovative

and moving study, The Calendar of Loss illuminates how AIDS mourning confounds and

traverses how we have come to think about loss and grief, insisting that the bereaved can

confront death in the face of shame and stigma in eloquent ways that also imply a fierce

political sensibility and a longing for justice.

METAPHORS OF MINDAn Eighteenth-Century Dictionary

BRAD PASANEK

AN ENCYCLOPEDIC DICTIONARY along the lines of Voltaire’s classic Dictionnaire

Philosophique, Metaphors of Mind provides an in-depth look at the myriad ways in which

Enlightenment writers used figures of speech to characterize the mind. Drawn from Brad

Pasanek’s massive online archive, metaphorized.net, this volume constitutes a veritable

treasury of mental metaphorics.

Dividing the book into eleven broad metaphorical categories—Animals, Coinage, Court,

Empire, Fetters, Impressions, Inhabitants, Metal, Mirror, Rooms, and Writing—Pasanek

maps out constellations of metaphors. He frames his collection of literary excerpts in each

section with a more descriptive and theoretical discussion of what he calls “desultory read-

ing,” a form of unsystematic perusal of writing frequently employed by Enlightenment

thinkers. By surveying the printed past alongside the digital present, the book treats eigh-

teenth-century writing as its topic while essentially exemplifying its rhetorical approach.

More than an exercise in quotation, this intellectual history offers illuminating readings

of fragmentary literary works and confrontations with neoclassical and contemporary theo-

ries of metaphor. Promoting critical and creative anachronism, Metaphors of Mind redefines

the notion of an archive in the age of Amazon and Google Books.

“Metaphors of Mind is a genuinely significant book. An exciting and stimulating read, it promises to precipitate and augment important conversations both in eighteenth-century literary studies and in the field of digital humanities more broadly.”—Jenny Davidson, author of Reading Style: A Life in Sentences

CRITICAL APPROACHES TO THE STUDY OF HIGHER EDUCATIONA Practical Introduction

edited by ANA M. MARTÍNEZ-ALEMÁN, BRIAN PUSSER, and ESTELA MARA BENSIMON

CRITICAL THEORY has much to teach us about higher education. By linking critical mod-

els, methods, and research tools with an advocacy-driven vision of the central challenges

facing postsecondary researchers and staff, Critical Approaches to the Study of Higher Edu-

cation makes a significant—and long overdue—contribution to the development of the field.

The contributors argue that, far from being overly abstract, critical tools and methods

are central to contemporary scholarship and can have practical policy implications when

brought to the study of higher education. They argue that critical research design and critical

theories help scholars see beyond the normative models and frameworks that have long

limited our understanding of students, faculty, institutions, the organization and governance

of higher education, and the policies that shape the postsecondary arena.

A rigorous and invaluable guide for researchers seeking innovative approaches to higher

education and the morass of traditionally functionalist, rational, and neoliberal thinking that

mars the field, this book is also essential for instructors who wish to incorporate the lessons

of critical scholarship into their course development, curriculum, and pedagogy.

“Educators and leaders urgently need scholarship that draws critical attention to educational inequities across the world. This compelling book will be useful to all those who wish to be part of that effort.”—Rebecca Ropers-Huilman, University of Minnesota

An essential guide to incorporating critical research into higher education scholarship.

TEACHING ONLINEA Guide to Theory, Research, and Practice

CLAIRE HOWELL MAJOR

IT IS DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE a college class today that does not include some online

component—whether a simple posting of a syllabus to course management software, the

use of social media for communication, or a full-blown course offering through a MOOC

platform. In Teaching Online, Claire Howell Major describes for college faculty the changes

that accompany use of such technologies and offers real-world strategies for surmounting

digital teaching challenges.

Teaching with these evolving media requires instructors to alter the ways in which they

conceive of and do their work, according to Major. They must frequently update their knowl-

edge of learning, teaching, and media, and they need to develop new forms of instruction,

revise and reconceptualize classroom materials, and refresh their communication patterns.

Faculty teaching online must also reconsider the student experience and determine what

changes for students ultimately mean for their own work and for their institutions.

Teaching Online presents instructors with a thoughtful synthesis of educational theory,

research, and practice, as well as a review of strategies for manag-

ing the instructional changes involved in teaching online. In addition,

this book presents examples of best practices from successful online

instructors as well as cutting-edge ideas from leading scholars and ed-

ucational technologists. Faculty members, researchers, instructional

designers, students, administrators, and policy makers who engage

with online learning will find this book an invaluable resource.

THE HIGHER LEARNING IN AMERICA A Memorandum on the Conduct of Universities by Business Men

The Annotated Edition

THORSTEIN VEBLEN

edited with an introduction and notes by RICHARD F. TEICHGRAEBER III

SINCE ITS PUBLICATION in 1918, Thorstein Veblen’s The Higher Learning in America

has remained a text that every serious student of the American university must confront. In-

tellectual historian Richard F. Teichgraeber III brings us the first scholarly edition of Veblen’s

classic, thoroughly edited, annotated, and indexed. An extensive introduction discusses the

book’s composition and publishing history, Veblen’s debts to earlier critics of the American

university, and the place of The Higher Learning in America in current debates about the

American university.

Veblen’s insights into the American university system at the outset of the twentieth

century are as provocative today as they were when first published. Insisting that institutions

of higher learning should be dedicated solely to the disinterested pursuit of knowledge, he

urged American universities to abandon commitments to extraneous pursuits such as athlet-

ics, community service, and vocational education.

With a detailed chronology, suggested readings, and comprehensive notes, this

volume is sure to become the standard teaching text for Veblen’s classic work and an

invaluable resource for students of both the history and the current workings of the American

university.

“We are fortunate today to have Richard Teichgraeber’s rediscovery of this classic work.”—John Thelin, author of A History of American Higher Education

The first scholarly edition of Thorstein Veblen’s classic indictment of the corporate model of American

university governance.

One of the most influential social scientists

of the late nineteenth and early twentieth

century, THORSTEIN VEBLEN (1857–

1929) wrote numerous books, including The

Theory of the Leisure Class: An Economic

Study in the Evolution of Institutions.

THE PROVOST’S HANDBOOKThe Role of the Chief Academic Officer

JAMES MARTIN, JAMES E. SAMELS & ASSOCIATES

AS THE CHIEF ACADEMIC OFFICER, the provost plays a central role in the contempo-

rary university or college. How has this essential leadership position evolved over the past

few decades, and what are the best practices to adopt for succeeding in specific operational

areas?

In seventeen essays written by some of the most successful chief academic officers in

the United States, The Provost’s Handbook outlines key topics related to the changing en-

vironment of higher education while explaining what constitutes effective leadership at the

college and university level. How, for example, does the provost lead in a time of disruption

and shifting needs? What skills should he or she nurture in new faculty? What role should

data and institutional research play in decision making? These questions—and many more

challenges presented by this role—are addressed in this essential volume.

Assembled by James Martin and James E. Samels, accomplished

authors and scholars of leadership in higher education, The Provost’s

Handbook is destined to become the go-to resource for deans, presidents,

trustees, and chief academic officers everywhere.

“The Provost’s Handbook is essential reading for every aspiring, new, and veteran chief academic officer. This is the perfect primer for the provost of the twenty-first century.”—Vita Rabinowitz, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Hunter College

A go-to resource to help provosts, deans, presidents, and trustees effectively meet the challenges of leading a college or university.

THE POLITICS OF PERFORMANCE FUNDING FOR HIGHER EDUCATIONOrigins, Discontinuations, and Transformations

KEVIN J. DOUGHERTY and REBECCA S. NATOW

PERFORMANCE FUNDING ties state support of colleges and universities directly

to institutional performance on specific outcomes, including retention, number of credits

accrued, graduation, and job placement. The theory is that introducing market-like forces

will prod institutions to become more efficient and effective. In The Politics of Performance

Funding for Higher Education, Kevin J. Dougherty and Rebecca S. Natow explore the

sometimes puzzling evolution of this mode of funding higher education. Drawing on an eight-

state study of performance funding in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, South Carolina,

Tennessee, and Washington, Dougherty and Natow shed light on the social and political fac-

tors affecting the origins, evolution, and demise of these programs. Their findings uncover

patterns of frequent adoption, discontinuation, and re-adoption.

Educators, sociologists, political scientists, and policy makers will welcome this defini-

tive assessment of the origins and evolution of performance funding.

“With its in-depth examination of the forces contributing to the origins, evolution, and discontinuation of performance funding in particular states, this book offers useful insights into the past, present, and future role of this potential policy lever.”

INTRODUCTION TO INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICSedited by EDDIE COMEAUX

INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS continue to bedevil American higher education.

Although tied closely to their institutions, athletic programs often operate outside the tradi-

tional university governance structure while contributing significantly to a school’s culture,

identity, and financial outlook. Introduction to Intercollegiate Athletics explores the complexi-

ties of intercollegiate athletics while explaining the organizational structures, key players,

terms, and important issues most relevant to the growing but often misunderstood fields of

recreational studies, sports management, and athletic administration.

Written by a diverse group of expert scholars, the book’s twenty-eight chapters are

enhanced with useful glossaries, reflections from athletics stakeholders, relevant case stud-

ies, and conversation-provoking discussion questions. Aimed at upper-level undergraduate

and graduate students, scholars, teachers, practitioners, athletic administra-

tors, and advocates of intercollegiate athletics, Introduction to Intercollegiate

Athletics provides readers with up-to-date and comprehensive knowl-

edge about the changes to—and challenges faced by—university athletics

programs.

“Simply the best compilation of the thinking and knowledge from the most experienced minds in intercollegiate athletics.”—Donna A. Lopiano, Sports Management Resources

POLICY DOCUMENTS AND REPORTSeleventh edition

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS

FOR THE PAST CENTURY, the American Association of University Professors (AAUP)

has developed standards for sound academic practice while working for the acceptance of

these standards by the higher education community. The Association has long been viewed

as the authoritative voice of the academic profession in this regard.

The AAUP’s Policy Documents and Reports presents in convenient format a wide

range of policies, in some instances formulated in cooperation with other educational

organizations. It includes basic statements on academic freedom, tenure, and due process;

academic governance; professional ethics; research and teaching; online and distance

education; intellectual property; discrimination; collective bargaining; accreditation; and

students’ rights and freedoms.

The new edition has been thoroughly updated and reorganized thematically.

Brief historical introductions have been added to each section, and an essay

on incorporating AAUP principles into faculty handbooks introduces the book.

Among the eighteen new reports included in this edition are statements on

academic freedom and outside speakers, campus sexual assault, the inclusion

of faculty on contingent appointments in academic governance, and salary-

setting practices that unfairly disadvantage women faculty.

The essential guide to the AAUP’s best practices and policies for higher education, now in its centennial edition.

THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS, founded in 1915,

is a professional organization whose purpose is to

advance academic freedom and shared governance, to

define fundamental professional values and standards

for the academic community, and to ensure higher edu-

cation’s contribution to the common good. The AAUP

remains the leading organization primarily dedicated to

protecting the academic freedom of faculty.

HANDBOOK FOR HEALTH CARE ETHICS COMMITTEESsecond edition

LINDA FARBER POST and JEFFREY BLUSTEIN

THE JOINT COMMISSION (TJC) accredits and certifies more than 19,000 health care

organizations in the United States. Each organization must have a standing health care ethics

committee to maintain its status. Many of these committees are well meaning but may lack

the information, experience, skills, and formal background in bioethics needed to adequately

negotiate the complex ethical issues that arise in clinical and organizational settings.

Handbook for Health Care Ethics Committees was the first book of its kind to address

the myriad responsibilities faced by ethics committees, including education, case consulta-

tion, and policy development. Adopting an accessible tone and using a case-study format,

the authors explore serious issues involving informed consent and refusal, decision making

and decisional capacity, truth telling, the end of life, palliative care, justice in and access to

health care services, and organizational ethics.

The authors have thoroughly updated the content and expanded their focus in the sec-

ond edition to include ethics committees in other clinical settings, such as long-term care

facilities, small community hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and hospices. They have added

three new chapters that address reproduction, disability, and the special needs of the elder

population, and they provide additional specialized policies and procedures on the book’s

website. This guide is an essential resource for all health care ethics committee members.

“Thick with useful information, this multifaceted handbook relays dispatches from the health care front.”—Metapsychology

How can dedicated ethics committee members fulfill their complex roles as moral analysts, policy reviewers, and clinical consultants?

OPERATION HEALTHSurgical Care in the Developing World

edited by ADAM L. KUSHNER, MD, MPH, FACS

A TEENAGE MOTHER ARRIVES by donkey cart to a hospital after attempting to deliver

her baby in the bush. A young father faces the loss of a leg after receiving a gunshot wound

that will not heal. A man walks miles to a hospital for a pain in his side caused by an appen-

dix that burst five days earlier. Without access to surgical resources, millions of people with

conditions like these become disabled or die.

In Operation Health, Adam L. Kushner argues that not only are severe medical condi-

tions—like a strangulated hernia or obstetric fistula—treatable by surgical means in low-

income countries; they are, in fact, surgically preventable.

Kushner makes a strong and compelling justification for adding surgical care to the

global health agenda by providing an overview of dangerous but repairable medical condi-

tions common in developing countries. Every chapter opens with a vignette by Kushner that

tells the remarkable story of the patients and situations he encountered in the field. Care-

fully crafted case studies demonstrate the power of surgery to heal people suffering from

potentially debilitating conditions, including clubfoot, obstructed labor, and broken bones.

This detailed and compassionate book will be of great interest to medical professionals,

students, public health policy makers, philanthropists, and those with a general interest in

global health.

The first in-depth review of the World Health Organization’s groundbreaking Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.

THE GLOBAL WAR ON TOBACCOMapping the World’s First Public Health Treaty

HEATHER WIPFLI

THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY has capitalized on globalization to expand into countries

where effective tobacco control programs are not in place. As a consequence, tobacco is

currently the leading cause of preventable death in the world.

Amid evidence of an emerging pandemic, a committed group of public health

professionals and institutions sought in the mid-1990s to challenge the tobacco industry’s

expansion by negotiating a binding international law under the auspices of the World

Health Organization. The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC)—the

first collective global response to the causation of avoidable chronic disease—was one of

the most quickly ratified treaties in United Nations history. In The Global War on Tobacco,

Heather Wipfli tells the engaging story of the FCTC, from its start as an unlikely civil society

proposal to its enactment in 178 countries as of June 2014.

The book—the first to delve deeply into the origin and development of the FCTC—

seeks to advance understanding of how non-state actors, transnational networks, and in-

ternational institutionalization can impact global governance for health. Case studies from a

variety of diverse high-, middle-, and low-income countries provide real-world examples of

the success or failure of tobacco control. Aimed at public health professionals and students,

The Global War on Tobacco is a fascinating look at how international relations is changing to

respond to the modern global marketplace and protect human health.

“Wipfli tells the story of the FCTC in a compelling way, making the book read like a page-turning thriller.”—Frank J. Chaloupka IV, University of Illinois–Chicago

director of the University of Southern

POLITICS IN THE CORRIDOR OF DYINGAIDS Activism and Global Health Governance

JENNIFER CHAN

FEW DISEASES HAVE PROVOKED as many wild moralistic leaps or stringent attempts

to measure, classify, and define risk and treatment standards as AIDS. In Politics in the

Corridor of Dying, Jennifer Chan documents the emergence of a diverse range of com-

munity-based, nongovernmental, and civil society groups engaged in patient-focused AIDS

advocacy worldwide.

Drawing on more than one hundred interviews conducted across eighteen countries,

the book covers a broad spectrum of contemporary sociopolitical issues in AIDS activism,

including the criminalization of HIV transmission, the fight against “big pharma,” and the

politics of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.

This multidisciplinary book is aimed at students and scholars of public health,

sociology, and political science, as well as health practitioners and activists. Politics

in the Corridor of Dying makes specific policy recommendations for the future while

revealing how AIDS activism around the world has achieved much more than increased

funding, better treatment, and more open clinical trial access: by forcing controlling en-

tities to democratize, activists have changed the balance of power and helped advance

permanent social change.

“A deeply impressive work, one that will surely make an important contribu-tion to the study of global AIDS activism. I simply don’t know of anything that is as up-to-date or that has as broad a global scope.”—Richard G. Parker, Columbia University, Mailman School of Public Health

HEALING GOTHAMNew York City’s Public Health Policies for the Twenty-First Century

BRUCE F. BERG

THROUGHOUT ITS HISTORY, NEW YORK CITY has been challenged by public

health crises. Since the nineteenth century—when it became one of the first American cities

to develop a comprehensive public health infrastructure—New York has also stood at the fore-

front of formulating and implementing urban health policy. Healing Gotham examines in depth

how the city has responded to five serious contemporary public health threats: childhood lead

poisoning, childhood asthma, HIV/AIDS, obesity, and West Nile virus.

Bruce F. Berg examines the rise and incidence of each condition in the city while ex-

plaining why the array of primary tools utilized by urban policy makers—including monitoring

and surveillance, education, regulations, and the direct provision of services—have been

successful in controlling public health problems. He also argues that forces such as race and

ethnicity, New York City’s relationship to the state and federal government, the promotion

of economic development, and the availability of knowledge related to preventing, treating,

and managing illness all influence effective public health policy making.

By contrasting these five particular cases, this exciting study allows scholars and stu-

dents to compare public health policy through time and across type. It also helps policy

makers understand how best to develop and implement effective public health strategies

around the United States.

“Few scholars have offered in-depth investigations of the lessons learned from the city’s experiences in public health, and fewer still have considered multiple health issues.”—Nicholas Freudenberg, coeditor of Cities and the Health of the Public

New York City provides the ideal context for studying urban public health policy.

A HISTORY OF PUBLIC HEALTHrevised expanded edition

GEORGE ROSEN

foreword by Pascal James Imperato, MD, MPH&TM

introduction by Elizabeth Fee

biographical essay and new bibliography by Edward T. Morman

SINCE PUBLICATION IN 1958, George Rosen’s classic book has been regarded as the

essential international history of public health. Describing the development of public health

in classical Greece, imperial Rome, England, Europe, the United States, and elsewhere,

Rosen illuminates the lives and contributions of the field’s great figures.

Rosen, writing in the 1950s, may have had good reason to believe that infectious dis-

eases would soon be conquered. But as Pascal James Imperato writes in the new foreword

to this edition, infectious disease remains a grave threat. Globalization, antibiotic resistance,

the emergence of new pathogens, and the reemergence of old ones have returned public

health efforts to the basics: preventing and controlling chronic and communicable diseases

and shoring up public health infrastructures that provide potable water, sewage disposal,

sanitary environments, and safe food and drug supplies to populations around the globe.

A revised introduction by Elizabeth Fee frames the book within the context of the histo-

riography of public health past, present, and future, and an updated bibliography by Edward T.

Morman includes significant books on public health history published between 1958 and

2014. For seasoned professionals as well as students, A History of Public Health is visionary

and essential reading.

“George Rosen’s History of Public Health is a classic.”—New England Journal of Medicine

HEALTH CARE IN AMERICAA History

JOHN C. BURNHAM

IN HEALTH CARE IN AMERICA, historian John C. Burnham describes changes over

four centuries of medicine and public health in America. Beginning with seventeenth-

century concerns over personal and neighborhood illnesses, Burnham concludes with the

arrival of a new epoch in American medicine and health care at the turn of the twenty-first

century.

Drawing on primary sources, classic scholarship, and a vast body of recent literature

in the history of medicine and public health, Burnham finds that traditional healing, care,

and medicine dominated the United States until the late nineteenth century, when

antiseptic/aseptic surgery and germ theory initiated an intellectual, social, and technical trans-

formation. He divides the age of modern medicine into several eras: physiological medicine

(1910s –1930s), antibiotics (1930s –1950s), technology (1950s –1960s), environmental

medicine (1970s –1980s), and, beginning around 1990, genetic medicine. The cumulat-

ing developments in each era led to today’s radically altered doctor-patient relationship

and the insistent questions that swirl around the financial cost of health care.

Burnham’s sweeping narrative makes sense of medical practice, medical

research, and human frailties and foibles, opening the door to a new understanding of

our current concerns.

THE RISE OF BIRDS225 Million Years of Evolution

second edition

SANKAR CHATTERJEE

A SMALL SET OF FOSSILIZED BONES discovered almost thirty years ago led paleon-

tologist Sankar Chatterjee on a lifelong quest to understand their place in our understanding

of the history of life. They were clearly the bones of something unusual, a bird-like creature

that lived long, long ago in the age of dinosaurs. In 1997, Chatterjee published his findings

in the first edition of The Rise of Birds.

Since then Chatterjee and his colleagues have searched the world for more transitional

bird fossils. And they have found them. This second edition of The Rise of Birds brings

together a treasure trove of fossils that tell us far more about the evolution of birds than we

once dreamed possible.

With no blind allegiance to what he once thought he knew, Chatterjee devours the new

evidence and lays out the most compelling version of the birth and evolution of the avian

form ever attempted.

Chatterjee takes us to where long-hidden bird fossils dwell. His compelling, occasion-

ally controversial, revelations—accompanied by spectacular illustrations—are a must-read

for anyone with a serious interest in the evolution of “the feathered dinosaurs.”

“A splendid overview of the current paleontological orthodox, plying through the highly contentious waters of bird and flight origin controversies with exemplary scholarship and much-needed civility.”—Alan Feduccia, University of North Carolina

ROADS AND ECOLOGICAL INFRASTRUCTUREConcepts and Applications for Small Animals

edited by KIMBERLY M. ANDREWS, PRIYA NANJAPPA, and SETH P. D. RILEY

FEW OF US THINK TWICE ABOUT DRIVING ON ROADS. Yet the very presence

of roads and the act of driving on them can impact the ecological infrastructure that supports

an animal’s daily life. What chance does a turtle have of successfully laying its eggs when

it needs to traverse a busy highway? Is it realistic to expect small mammals to breed when

an interstate thoroughfare subdivides their population? These are the sorts of challenges

faced by small, often slow-moving animals, challenges that road engineers and ecologists

are trying to address.

Roads and Ecological Infrastructure is the first book to focus on reducing conflict

between roads and small animals. Highlighting habitat connections and the issues and

solutions from both transportation and ecological perspectives, the volume covers various

themes, including animal behavior related to roads and design approaches to mitigate the

negative effects of roads on wildlife. The chapter authors—from transportation experts to

university researchers—each promote a goal of realistic problem solving. Conceptual and

practical, this book will influence the next decade or more of road design in ecologically

sensitive areas and should prevent countless unnecessary wildlife fatalities.

“This book synthesizes the impacts of roads and traffic on small wildlife species and presents strong recommendations to address these impacts.”—Marcel Huijser, Montana State University

The first rigorous attempt to standardize the conceptual definition of wildlife habitat.

WILDLIFE HABITAT CONSERVATIONConcepts, Challenges, and Solutions

edited by MICHAEL L. MORRISON and

HEATHER A. MATHEWSON

“HABITAT” IS PROBABLY THE MOST COMMON TERM in ecological research.

Although a broad swath of people now have some notion of what habitat is, the scientific

community has by and large failed to define it concretely.

Wildlife Habitat Conservation presents an up-to-date review of the habitat concept, pro-

vides a scientifically rigorous definition, and emphasizes how we must focus on those critical

factors contained within what we call habitat. The result is a habitat concept that promises

long-term persistence of animal populations.

Key concepts and items in the book include

• Thenecessityofmovingawayfromvagueandinconsistentperspectivesto

more rigorous and standard conceptual definitions of wildlife and their habitat

• Adiscussionoftheessentialintegrationofpopulationdemographics

and population persistence with the concept of habitat

• Theimportanceofcarryoverandlageffects,behavioralprocesses,

genetics, and species interactions to our understanding of habitat

• Anexaminationofspatiotemporalheterogeneity

Each chapter is accessibly written in a style that will be welcomed by private

land owners and public resource managers at local, state, and federal levels. Also

ideal for undergraduate and graduate natural resource and conservation courses,

the book is organized perfectly for a one-semester class.

MIGRATION ECOLOGY OF MARINE F ISHESDAVID HALLOCK SECOR

NOT SINCE F. R. HARDEN JONES PUBLISHED his masterwork on fish migration

in 1968 has a book so thoroughly demystified the subject. With stunning clarity, David

Hallock Secor’s Migration Ecology of Marine Fishes finally penetrates the clandestine nature

of marine fish migration.

Secor explains how the four decades of research since Jones’s classic have employed

digital-age technologies—including electronic miniaturization, computing, microchemistry,

ocean observing systems, and telecommunications—that render overt the previously hid-

den migration behaviors of fish.

Case studies throughout the book emphasize how migration ecology confounds cur-

rent fisheries management. Yet, as Secor explains, conservation frameworks that explicitly

consider the influence of migration on yield, stability, and resilience outcomes have the po-

tential to transform fisheries management. A synthetic treatment of all marine fish taxa (te-

leosts and elasmobranchs), this book employs explanatory frameworks from avian and sys-

tems ecology while arguing that migrations are emergent phenomena, structured through

schooling, phenotypic plasticity, and other collective agencies.

The book provides overviews of the following concepts

• Thecomparativemovementecologyoffishesandbirds

• Thealignmentofmatingsystemswithlarvaldispersal

• Schoolingandmigrationasadaptationstomarinefoodwebs

• Natalhoming

How did cybernetics and information theory arise, and how did they come to dominate fields as diverse as engineering, biology, and the social sciences?

THE CYBERNETICS MOMENTOr Why We Call Our Age the Information Age

RONALD R. KLINE

CYBERNETICS ORIGINATED from efforts during World War II to build automatic

anti-aircraft systems. Following the war, this science extended beyond military needs to

examine all systems that rely on information and feedback. In The Cybernetics Moment,

Ronald R. Kline examines the intellectual and cultural history of cybernetics and informa-

tion theory, whose language of “information,” “feedback,” and “control” transformed the

idiom of the sciences, hastened the development of information technologies, and laid the

conceptual foundation for what we now call the Information Age.

Kline traces the relationship between the invention of computers and communication

systems and the rise, decline, and transformation of cybernetics by analyzing the lives and

work of such notables as Norbert Wiener, Claude Shannon, Warren McCulloch, Margaret

Mead, Gregory Bateson, and Herbert Simon. Ultimately, he reveals the crucial role played by

the cybernetics moment—when cybernetics and information theory were seen as universal

sciences—in setting the stage for our current preoccupation with information technologies.

“Kline demonstrates in this rich story that there is more than we thought behind the decades-long adoption of computational models, techniques, and visions by the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities.”—Gregory J.

AGE OF SYSTEMUnderstanding the Development of Modern Social Science

HUNTER HEYCK

BEFORE THE SECOND WORLD WAR, social scientists struggled to define and defend

their disciplines. After the war, “high modern” social scientists harnessed new resources in

a quest to create a unified understanding of human behavior—and to remake the world in

the image of their new model man.

In Age of System, Hunter Heyck explains why social scientists—shaped by encounters

with the ongoing “organizational revolution” and its revolutionary technologies of communi-

cation and control—embraced a new and extremely influential perspective on science and

nature, one that conceived of all things in terms of system, structure, function, organization,

and process. He also explores how this emerging unified theory of human behavior implied a

troubling similarity between humans and machines, with freighted implications for individual

liberty and self-direction.

Drawing on close readings of key texts and a broad survey of more than 1,800 jour-

nal articles, Heyck follows the dollars—and the dreams—of a generation of scholars that

believed in “the system.” He maps the broad landscape of changes in the social scienc-

es, focusing especially intently on the ideas and practices associated with modernization

theory, rational choice theory, and modeling. A highly accomplished historian, Heyck relays

this complicated story with unusual clarity.

Praise for Hunter Heyck’s Herbert A. Simon: The Bounds of Reason in Modern America

“One of the most important secondary works on postwar social science in America.”—American Historical Review

In the years after World War II, a new generation of scholars redefined the central concepts and practices of social science in America.

FAXEDThe Rise and Fall of the Fax Machine

JONATHAN COOPERSMITH

FAXED IS THE FIRST HISTORY of the facsimile machine—the most famous

recent example of a tool made obsolete by relentless technological innovation. Jonathan

Coopersmith recounts the multigenerational, multinational history of this device from its

origins to its workplace glory days, in the process revealing how it helped create the ac-

celerated communications, information flow, and vibrant visual culture that characterize our

contemporary world.

Based on archival research and interviews spanning two centuries and three conti-

nents, Coopersmith’s book recovers the lost history of a once-ubiquitous technology.

Written in accessible language that should appeal to engineers and policymakers as well as

historians, Faxed explores themes of technology push and market pull, user-based innova-

tion, and “blackboxing” (the packaging of complex skills and technologies into packages

designed for novices) while revealing the inventions inspired by the fax, how the demand for

fax machines eventually caught up with their availability, and why subsequent shifts in user

preferences rendered them mostly passé.

“Scholars of information and communication technology, especially historians, will be interested in this fascinating story of a uniquely persistent digital technology.”

—Gregory J. Downey, author of Closed Captioning: Subtitling, Stenography, and the Digital Convergence of Text with Television

Johns Hopkins Studies in the History of Technology, Merritt Roe Smith, Series Editor

The intriguing story of the rise and fall—and unexpected persistence—of the fax machine illustrates the close link between technology and culture.

MAKING COMPUTERS ACCESSIBLEDisability Rights and Digital Technology

ELIZABETH R. PETRICK

IN 1974, NOT LONG AFTER DEVELOPING the first universal optical character rec-

ognition technology, Raymond Kurzweil struck up a conversation with a blind man on a

flight. Kurzweil explained that he was searching for a use for his new software. The blind

man expressed interest: One of the frustrating obstacles that blind people grappled with,

he said, was that no computer program could translate text into speech. Inspired by this

chance meeting, Kurzweil decided that he must put his new innovation to work to “over-

come this principal handicap of blindness.” By 1976, he had built a working prototype, which

he dubbed the Kurzweil Reading Machine.

This type of innovation demonstrated the possibilities of computers to dramatically im-

prove the lives of people living with disabilities. In Making Computers Accessible, Elizabeth R.

Petrick tells the compelling story of how computer engineers and corporations gradually

became aware of the need to make computers accessible for all people. Motivated by user

feedback and prompted by legislation such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, which

offered the promise of equal rights via technological accommodation, companies developed

sophisticated computerized devices and software to bridge the accessibility gap.

Bridging the history of technology, science and technology studies, and disability

studies, this book traces the psychological, cultural, and economic evolution of a consumer

culture aimed at individuals with disabilities, who increasingly rely on personal computers to

make their lives richer and more interconnected.

“A deeply researched, extremely well-written, and cutting-edge book.”—Howard P. Segal, author of Utopias: A Brief History from Ancient Writings to Virtual Communities

The revolution in accessible computer technology was fueled by disability activism, the interactive nature of

personal computers, and changing public policy.

FROM PLAYGROUNDS TO PLAYSTATIONThe Interaction of Technology and Play

CARROLL PURSELL

IN THIS ROMP THROUGH THE CHANGING landscape of nineteenth- and twentieth-

century American toys, games, hobbies, and amusements, senior historian of technology

Carroll Pursell poses a simple but interesting question: What can we learn by studying the

relationship between technology and play?

From Playgrounds to PlayStation explores how play reflects and drives the evolution of

American culture. Pursell engagingly examines the ways in which technology affects play

and play shapes people. The objects that children (and adults) play with and play on, along

with their games and the hobbies they pursue, can reinforce but also challenge gender roles

and cultural norms.

Drawing from a range of sources, including scholarly monographs, patent records,

newspapers, and popular and technical journals, the book covers numerous modes and sites

of play. Pursell touches on the safety-conscious playground reform movement, the dazzling

mechanical innovations that gave rise to commercial amusement parks, and the media’s

colorful promotion of toys, pastimes, and sporting events. Along the way, he shows readers

how technology enables the forms, equipment, and devices of play to evolve constantly,

both reflecting consumer choices and driving innovators and manufacturers to promote toys

that involve entirely new kinds of play.

“From Playgrounds to PlayStation examines technical play, an important topic that has not been sufficiently studied in the history of technology. The prose is smooth, the arguments clear, and the research sound; a real pleasure.”—David E. Nye, University of Southern Denmark

THE TRANSFORMATION OF GOVERNANCEPublic Administration for the Twenty-First Century

updated edition

DONALD F. KETTL

THE TRADITIONAL THEORY of public administration is based on entrenched notions

of hierarchy and authority. However, as the structure of public work has grown less hierar-

chical, managers have adopted a wide variety of non-authoritarian strategies. This growing

gap between theoretical ideas and actual practice poses enormous challenges for front-line

leaders struggling to deal with ever-larger expectations and ever-tighter budgets.

The Transformation of Governance offers a new framework for reconciling effective ad-

ministration with the requirements of democratic government. Instead of thinking in terms

of organizational structure and management, Donald F. Kettl suggests, administrators and

theorists need to focus on governance, or the links between government and its broader

environment—political, social, and administrative—through which social action occurs.

In this updated edition, a new epilogue shows Kettl urging political leaders to step back

from the political barricades of hyperpartisanship to consider government’s contemporary

dilemma: Is there any practical way forward for public administrators to manage government

effectively?

With a new preface from Michael Nelson, this book will be sought out by public policy-

makers eager to read a leading scholar’s newest insights into the field.

“Kettl’s new book is a well-written and insightful assessment of the state of public administration, in both theory and practice . . . Highly recommended.”—Choice

OTHERWORLDLY POLITICSThe International Relations of Star Trek, Game of Thrones, and Battlestar Galactica

STEPHEN BENEDICT DYSON

TO HELP STUDENTS THINK critically about international relations and politics,

Stephen Benedict Dyson examines the fictional but profoundly political realities of three tele-

vision shows: Star Trek, Game of Thrones, and Battlestar Galactica. Deeply familiar with the

events, themes, characters, and plot lines of these popular shows, students can easily draw

parallels from fictive worlds to contemporary international relations and political scenarios.

In Otherworldly Politics, Dyson explains how these shows are plotted to offer alterna-

tive histories and future possibilities for humanity. Fascinated by politics and history, science

fiction and fantasy screenwriters and showrunners suffuse their scripts with real-world ideas

of empire, war, civilization, and culture, lending episodes a compelling intricacy and contem-

porary resonance.

Dyson argues that science fiction and fantasy television creators share a fundamental

kinship with great minds in international relations. Creators like Gene Roddenberry, George

R. R. Martin, and Ronald D. Moore are world-builders of no lesser creativity, Dyson argues,

than theorists such as Woodrow Wilson, Kenneth Waltz, and Alexander Wendt. A vital spur

to creative thinking for scholars and an accessible introduction for students, this book will

also appeal to fans of these three influential shows.

“I wish I had been introduced to international relations through a book like this. Dyson does a great job of weaving together the classics of American IR and science fiction in a lucid and entertaining style.”—Barry Buzan, The London School of Economics

BEFORE THE OATHHow George W. Bush and Barack Obama Managed a Transfer of Power

MARTHA JOYNT KUMAR

IN 2009, as President George W. Bush briefed President-elect Barack Obama about the

ongoing wars and plummeting economy he’d soon inherit, the Bush team revealed that

they were grappling with a late-breaking threat to the presidency: U.S. intelligence sources

believed that a terror group with links to Al Qaeda planned to attack the National Mall dur-

ing the inaugural festivities. Although this violence never materialized, its possibility made it

clear that well-laid contingency plans were essential.

Political scientist Martha Joynt Kumar uncovered this secret peril while interviewing

senior Bush and Obama advisers for her latest book. In Before the Oath, Kumar documents

how two presidential teams—one outgoing, the other incoming—must forge trusting alli-

ances in order to help the new president succeed in his or her first term.

Kumar combines in-depth scholarship with one-on-one interviews to put readers

squarely behind the scenes. Using the Bush-Obama handoff as a lens through which to

examine the presidential transition process, Kumar interweaves examples from previous

administrations as far back as Truman and Eisenhower. Her subjects describe in vivid detail

the challenges of sowing campaign ideals across a sprawling executive branch as Congress,

the media, and external events press in. Kumar’s lively account of lessons learned and

pitfalls encountered during past presidential transitions provides an essential road map for

presidential aspirants and their advisers, as well as campaign workers, federal employees,

and political appointees.

FUELS PARADISESeeking Energy Security in Europe, Japan, and the United States

JOHN S. DUFFIELD

IN RECENT YEARS, the efforts of nations to promote energy security have been hotly

debated. Fuels Paradise examines how five major developed democracies—Britain, France,

Germany, Japan, and the United States—have sought to enhance their energy security

since the oil shocks of the 1970s and in response to the more diverse set of challenges of

the early twenty-first century. Drawing on a vast range of primary and secondary sources,

John S. Duffield explains the actions taken—and not taken—by these countries to address

their energy security concerns.

Throughout the book, Duffield argues that state strength and policy legacies are

essential for understanding national responses to energy insecurity. In addition to iden-

tifying feasible energy policies and the constraints faced by policy makers, he evaluates

the prospects for international cooperation to promote energy security and considers the

implications of recent advances in the production and distribution of energy, particularly the

fracking revolution.

An ambitious cross-national and longitudinal study grounded in promising theories of

national behavior, Fuels Paradise will contribute substantially to broader debates about the

determinants of state action and public policy.

“Written in a simple, readable, direct style, Fuels Paradise is a unique compari-son of the respective energy policies—and energy vulnerability and security— of advanced industrial democracies.”—Charles F. Doran, The Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University

DISEASE DIPLOMACYInternational Norms and Global Health Security

SARA E. DAVIES, ADAM KAMRADT-SCOTT, and SIMON RUSHTON

IN THE AGE OF AIR TRAVEL and globalized trade, pathogens that once took months or

even years to spread beyond their regions of origin can now circumnavigate the globe in a

matter of hours. Amid growing concerns about such epidemics as Ebola, SARS, MERS, and

H1N1, disease diplomacy has emerged as a key foreign and security policy concern as coun-

tries work to collectively strengthen the global systems of disease surveillance and control.

The revision of the International Health Regulations (IHR), eventually adopted by the

World Health Organization’s member states in 2005, was the foremost manifestation of

this novel diplomacy.

Disease Diplomacy traces the emergence of these new norms of global health security,

the extent to which they have been internalized by states, and the political and technical

constraints governments confront in attempting to comply with their new international ob-

ligations. The authors also examine in detail the background, drafting, adoption, and imple-

mentation of the IHR while arguing that the very existence of these regulations reveals an

important new understanding: that infectious disease outbreaks and their management are

critical to national and international security.

The book will be of great interest to academic researchers, postgraduate students, and

advanced undergraduates in the fields of global public health, international relations, and

public policy, as well as health professionals, diplomats, and practitioners with a profes-

sional interest in global health security.

“A major contribution to the literature on global health.”—Susan Peterson, The College of William & Mary

Have the revised International Health Regulations allowed states to rise to the challenge of delivering

global health security?

WRITINGS OF THE LUDDITESedited by KEVIN BINFIELD

An invaluable collection of texts

written between 1811 and 1816

by members of the Luddite move-

ment and their sympathizers.

“Think what I might have ac-complished . . . if I hadn’t had my nose buried in Writings of the Luddites.”—Christianity Today

“This work shines not just as a collection on an important topic but more generally as an artisanal guide to the art and mystery of archival research.”

—Enterprise and Society

KEVIN BINFIELD is a professor of English at Murray State

University.

REVOLUTIONARY ACTSTheater, Democracy, and the French Revolution

SUSAN MASLAN

“Maslan’s thought-provoking book makes a distinctive con-tribution to the understanding of the literary and cultural his-tory of the French Revolution.”

—Modern Language Review

“Original and thoughtful work . . . offers great original-ity, creativity, thoughtfulness and erudition.”—H-France

“Ambitious, insightful, and engaging study.”—Thomas Wynn, French Studies

SUSAN MASLAN is an associate professor of French at the

University of California–Berkeley.

Parallax: Re-visions of Culture and Society Stephen G. Nichols, Gerald Prince, and Wendy Steiner, Series Editors

MY SILVER PLANETA Secret History of Poetry and Kitsch

DANIEL TIFFANY

“Tiffany is persuasive in argu-ing that the now ubiquitous idea of ‘kitsch’ originates in poetry, poetic language, and the articulated views of many players in the greater culture . . . The value of the book lies in application: understanding the origins of poetic ‘kitsch’ allows one to understand elite culture better and to use that knowledge as a link between elite culture and vernacular culture.”—Choice

DANIEL TIFFANY is a professor of English and comparative

literature at the University of Southern California. He is the author

of nine books of poetry and literary theory, including Infidel Poetics:

Riddles, Nightlife, Substance and Neptune Park.

HARLEQUIN BRITAINPantomime and Entertainment, 1690–1760

JOHN O’BRIEN

“A good read for even the most casual theater histo-rian.”—Choice

“A complex, rich work . . . an original, important contribution to the history of the body and to political culture.”—American Historical Review

“This well-argued text on pantomime offers a fascinat-ing investigation of a sub-genre of British theater.”

—Scriblerian

JOHN O’BRIEN is the NEH Daniels Family Distinguished

Teaching Professor at the University of Virginia.

WORDSWORTH’S ETHICSADAM POTKAY

“This elegantly written book amounts to a defense of po-etry . . . It is required reading in any case.”—Choice

“Generous, probing, and comprehensive.”—Wordsworth Circle

“Wordsworth’s Ethics is a nuanced and carefully argued book that will command attention and respect from all romanticists . . . It is a great virtue of Potkay’s book that

without excessive reliance on the intentional fallacy, and with compelling new insights about important passages we thought we knew, its author is able to outline a system of thought that Wordsworth would almost certainly have endorsed.”—Modern Philology

ADAM POTKAY is the William R. Kenan Professor of Humanities

at the College of William and Mary. He is the author of The Story

of Joy from the Bible to Late Romanticism and winner of the Harry

Levin Prize of the American Comparative Literature Association.
